Anyone had any experience of this? And if so, found a way to sort it?

I have had awful toothache since Friday (I would've gone to a dentist but they're shut on weekends AND it's a bank holiday today...).. I've tried weak painkillers, and powerful, and they've pretty much done **** all.

Before someone says it, I have to say this: It's is not a tolerance I've built up, as I very rarely take any form of painkillers at all... Mostly because I know they never help me any way.

Hopefully I can get a dentists appointment tomorrow at least -3- But I wish some painkillers had worked..

You know, painkillers normally work fine for me, like for headaches and such. But when I had braces (and mostly right after they were adjusted) there wasn't anything working. Dunno why, maybe it works less effectively on gums/mouth or something. I generally just coped with it until it was gone, but when it was too annoying, I used some local painkiller (Orajel or the like), basically anything that you apply right near the painful area. It seemed to work better.

I also heard that sucking cloves work. Probably not true, but it gives you a nice christmasy breath Hai

Hope you will feel better soon!

I dunno, I also find that painkillers and the like don't work as well when it comes to my mouth... not that I use them all that much. Medicine in general doesn't work as well for me. Like if I ever have to have a cavity filled at the dentist, no matter how much/strong the numbing stuff they use is, I can always always feel the drill in my tooth and it hurts. D:

They just never seem to work for me at all...

Like sometimes I get really bad pains in joints (yay arthritis at 24?) and I'd take a painkiller... Useless. So I just rarely take them, they're just annoying 'cos they never work and I'm in constant bloody pain Dx So I'm convinced that I have a natural immunity to it... It's not totally out of the question, I mean, people have loads of varied genes/other stuff I forget the name of that could do this stuff...

*not looking forward to getting a dentist appointment 'cos I'm most likely going to need a tooth removed.. And it's a front tooth.. Gonna look awful ._.*

While I haven't heard of anything liket his, I do know someone who reacts to sedatives like caffeine, and vice versa. I also know a someone allergic to antibiotics, and another person allergic to some other popular medical treatment.

Doctors don't like them much.

Caffeine isn't a sedative...
